Pharaoh ordered Hebrew babies to slaughter,but Moses was saved by Pharaoh’s daughter.This Egyptian ladyraised this Hebrew baby.Moses lived in the house of Pharaoh,but Pharaoh did not know.No one knew as the child grew.~~~When Moses was full grown his roots were made known.Pharaoh had a conniption for Moses killed an Egyptian.Because Moses was a Hebrew, that’s when anger grew.Into the desert Moses fled, shortly thereafter he did wed.~~~Later, on Mount Horeb a bush did burn.This is where Moses did learn about the call on his life.He was to save Israel from strife.God gave Moses a script, he was the Deliverer in Egypt.~~~The God of Moses to Pharaoh proposes; Let the Hebrews go, otherwise there will be woe.The consequence was not vague; on Egypt there would be a plague.A plague on each day, until Pharaoh said okay.~~~Back to Egypt Moses went, for that’s where God had sent Moses to confront Pharaoh to say, “Let my people go.”But Pharaoh said, “Absolutely No!I will not let your people go.Who is this God I do not know?This Hebrew God,I will not applaud.”~~~The instructions to Pharaoh were not vague.If Hebrews weren’t free there’d be a plague.Then Pharaoh gave this ridiculous order:Hebrews to make the same amount of mortar,only they would have to find straw for bricks, which became the new law.This could not be done.It looked as though Pharaoh won.~~~“As My servant Moses has spoken, your Egyptian bondage will be broken.Do not fret.Pharaoh will letMy people go.This you need to know.”~~~Right from the startGod hardened Pharaoh’s heart,so the Hebrews would know who God was through the mighty acts God does.~~~In Pharaoh’s court Moses stood in front, then Pharaoh, Moses did confront.God turned Moses’ staff into a snake, but Pharaoh said, “Hebrews can’t take.”~~~Now comes plague number one, turning water into blood was done.Blood did defile the river Nile.Fish died and it did stink,Egyptians could no longer drink.Yet Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~With plague number two,this is what God did do.He ordered the frogsto come and make clogs; they were all over the place and in every space.But Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~Then came plague number threeby the hand of the Almighty.Egypt had to pay a high price, for now they were covered with lice.Lice were on beast and men, but even so, even then,Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~With plague number fourflies God did pour all over the land, but He withheld His hand from the land of Goshen where there was no commotion.The Hebrews were free of flies, while cries in Egypt did arise.Pharaoh still said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~Then came plague number five, livestock did not survive.In Egypt livestock had pestilence, however in Goshen there was preference.The Hebrew’s livestock was fine, For God said, “These people are Mine.”The plague was on Egypt’s livestock,which caused Egyptian shock.All their livestock left outsidefrom this plague died.But, Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~The sixth plaguewas not vague.God sent a plague of boils on Egypt that spoils the skin of animal and men, but the Hebrews didn’t have them; the Hebrews, God did protect from boils which did deflect.However, Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~Then came plague number seven; hail came from heaven.Obeying God, Pharaoh failed, so in Egypt it hailed.It hailed hard and longPharaoh knew he did wrong.But Pharaoh was an obstinate king, so God sent hail ruining most everything.Again, Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~With plague number eighteverything the locust ate.But again in Goshen there was no commotion.The locust did only yield a great harvest in Egypt’s field.Even so, Pharaoh said, “No!I will not let your people go!”~~~Then came plague number nineand darkness was the sign.For three full days Egypt had no sun, because of what Pharaoh had done.Darkness was only where Egyptians were,for in Goshen darkness did not occur.Egypt was totally dark still Pharaoh did remark,“I will not let your people go, because I, the great Pharaoh, said so!”~~~God’s mighty plan through Moses’ hand was being accomplished throughout this land.God allowed all plagues in order to proclaimHis power and might on earth in His Name.Egypt thought their gods were vital.Each plague represented an idol.This is what caused Egypt to fall, for the God of Moses is far above all.Over the days God did display,His mighty power to Egypt’s dismay.~~~The last plague on Egypt was number tenthis effected animals, women, and men.Exactly at midnight the Lord did strikeEgypt’s firstborns and horror did spike.Wailing was heard long into the night from Egyptians caught in this fright.~~~All of Egypt did mourn over the death of all their firstborn.Jews were safe when the death angel came,because they put blood on each doorframe.Each Hebrew family shared a special meal, while with Egypt God did deal.They had prepared a quick feast of lamb, bitter herbs, bread without yeast.When Pharaoh’s firstborn died to Moses Pharaoh replied,“Take your people and get out!Egypt does not want any of you about.Now in your God I believe, take these slaves and leave.”~~~Israel had lived in Egypt 430 years had toiled and cried many tears.The Egyptians had equipped the Hebrews leaving Egypt. They gave clothing, silver, and gold; all that the Jews could hold.There was great joy in the air, for God freed Israel from despair.God is permanently faithful, and the Hebrews were grateful.~~~From this day forward Jews need to remember that horridEgyptian bondage as a slave, and the plagues God gave to set the Hebrews free, to worship, and praise the Almighty.Israel is to do this once a year by celebrating Passover with cheer.It is God all must fear this was made quite clear.~~~This remembrance is not just for the Jew; all should remember this – that’s me and you.There is only one true God to whom we all need to applaud.He is the Lord, God Most High this no one can deny.

O God in heavenremove all leaven;all those liesseen by our eyes.Empower us to stand firm,we don’t want to squirm,or be tossed to and fro,nervous of the way to go.We want to be secureknowing for surethat it is not mine,but Your will, only Thine.

Don’t you know God Almightyis as just as just can bewith the blink of an eyeHe can change you and Iwith an out stretched handHe enables us to standand the sound of His voicewould make anyone rejoice.~~~In God we can trustwith just one thrustHe can wipe out the foeand this I want you to knowwe don’t need to be afraidfor Jesus Christ paidthe price for all sinallowing us all in.~~~Only if we in Him believewe would never want to leavehis merciful, gracious sidein Him we’d want to abidewe would smile and have funthe battle He has already wonyet there is one more thingwe should praise Him in everything.

God’s purposes cannot be thwarted.~~~Luke 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies And from the hand of all who hate us,~~~Prayer: Psalm 25To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed;Let not my enemies triumph over me. 3 Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. 4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. 5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation;On You I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your loving kindnesses, For they are from of old. 7 Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. 9 The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. 11 For Your name’s sake, O LORD, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.12 Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. 13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. 15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! 18 Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins. 19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; And they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all their troubles!~~~https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+25&version=NKJV;NIV

I am not going to wallow in self-pity,for instead I’ve chosen to be witty.No more saying no one seems to care,I will have nothing to do with despair.I will set my course,I will have no remorse.I will put a smile on my face,and wear it every place.I will guard over my thoughts,I will not focus on the nots.So I have set my pace,basking in God’s grace.
